Boko Haram militant involved in Chibok 2014 kidnapping jailed

A Nigerian court has jailed a Boko Haram militant involved in the 2014 kidnapping of the Chibok girls.

Haruna Yahaya, 35, is the first member of the group to be sentenced for playing a part in the mass abduction.

Judges sitting at a military court in Kanji however dismissed his excuse as they were unmoved by his please for leniency on the grounds of his disability, which has left him with a paralysed arm and deformed leg, BBC News' Ishaq Khalid reports.
